did you fall
asleep with the book over your face and the light left on
your hand stopping to rest on top of your head your elbow locked up in the air
until it falls
and wakes you and finally you reach to turn out the light
head down resting on the seat back of the 2C bus after 1 am
you so tired so so tired
so hard worked n now done gone
fragile human
shift worked
deep breaths
fast asleep bouncing down Franklin Ave
fragile human
deep breaths
shivering in the falling snow at 4 am
your memories of her body soft n smooth n warm against you
your head bobbing against the tower head
it was only a little after 9 pm and you were falling asleep at the bar
fragile dreams to the beat of the moon n the sun
bouncing down Franklin Ave
heat flow
